In　electric　vehicle　wireless　power　transfer　(EVWPT)　systems,　unipolar,　bipolar,　and　multipolar　coils　produced　by　different　manufacturers　are　not　well　compatible　with　each　other,　resulting　in　the　interoperability　issues.　In　order　to　solve　this　contradiction,　a　family　of　self-adaptive　interoperable　receivers　based　on　multiple　decoupled　receiving　poles　is　proposed.　Based　on　the　two　decoupled　poles　as　the　receiving　coil,　the　proposed　self-adaptive　two-pole　interoperable　receiver　can　tolerate　both　the　unipolar　(UP)　transmitting　coil　and　the　bipolar　(BP)　transmitting　coil　along　one　direction.　On　this　basis,　it　is　extended　to　a　self-adaptive　four-pole　interoperable　receiver.　The　four　poles　are　coplanar　and　decoupled　by　using　four　externally　decoupling　windings.　This　self-adaptive　four-pole　receiver　can　tolerate　the　UP　transmitting　coil,　the　BP　transmitting　coil　along　two　directions,　and　the　quadrupole　(QP)　transmitting　coil　by　forming　effective　equivalent　mutual　inductances　with　them,　thus　achieving　interoperability.　Moreover,　misalignment　tolerance　is　also　realized.　The　experimental　results　of　the　two-pole　and　four-pole　proposals　show　that　efficient　power　transmission　can　be　achieved　with　various　transmitting　coil　including　the　UP,　BP,　and　QP　transmitting　coils,　realizing　interoperability　and　misalignment　tolerance.　IEEE
